Flooding carries risks on life, property and infrastructure posing a need for efficient management and mitigation strategies. The project's main focus is on flood analysis of Mula-Mutha River in Pune, India and it involves the use of Hydrologic engineering center's river analysis system (Hec-Ras). The main goal is to model floods, determine areas prone to flooding and suggest how to prevent such through comprehensive hydraulic modeling.

In this research, we collect topographic and hydrological data due to including river geometry, flow rates and rainfall patterns. by using those data inputs, a detailed Hec-Ras model of the Mula-Mutha river is created. Various flood events are simulated by the model to analyze water surface profiles, flow velocities, and floodplain extents under different conditions.

Important findings show that several regions are at high risk of being flooded because of their riverbank geometry, urban development progress or how hard rain falls. Historical flood records together with exercises that checked for truth and accuracy were involved in validating the results gotten. From the examination the study suggests both structural and non-structural flooding prevention measures like making levees, building floodwalls and setting in place better urban drainage systems. Importance of advanced hydraulic modeling tools like Hec-Ras in flood risk management and urban planning is what this study is looking into. Mula-Mutha River basin will use this research project to provide reliable flood predictions and help local authorities improve flood preparedness and resilience through identification of high-risk locations.
